Vygon adds infusion and syringe pumps to its IV product range

Vygon announce “The latest in infusion technology is now being offered by Vygon (UK) Ltd, a leading supplier of high quality medical products, making the company a complete solution provider for all intravenous therapy needs. The new generation of Aitecs pumps is available as syringe and volumetric pumps. Both operate through an infusion platform to provide excellent connectivity, flexibility, and reliability, complete with in-built safety mechanisms and easy-to-operate InfuGard software. Both pump types – Advanced Syringe Drivers and Large Volume Parenteral infusion pumps – connect to a separate docking station and can be viewed as a bedside overhead display or at a nurses’ station. The pumps’ InfuGard software enables hard and soft limits to be set ensuring accurate dosage delivery and enhanced safety. They are ideal for use in all hospital departments and the homecare environment.

Colin Crighton, Business Development Manager at Vygon, said: “We are really pleased to announce the addition of syringe and infusion pumps to our product range. We’ve been working closely with pump manufacturer MOOG and as with our existing IV range the focus is on providing quality, improving safety and reducing infection rates by offering clinically proven products.”

The pumps have easy-to-use colour-coded screens, numeric key pads, and include audio-visual alarms and overhead and PC displays. The InfuGard software offers up to 300 drugs in its library, helping to reduce programming times. The docking station technology also means the pump can be linked into the hospital network to record data, improving patient safety, and allowing easy analysis. This in turn can save time and improve hospital efficiency. As with many other Vygon UK products, staff using the new infusion pumps will be provided with free on-site training on an ongoing basis to ensure they are fully conversant with the technology. The infusion pumps have a wide range of maintenance, service and support features and come with a two year warranty.
